What affects the price in Compton
Here’s what affects the price:
- Time on site
- Distance from us
- The date and time of year

Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- An estimate of numbers
- Dietary requirements
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- A photo of the cooking area
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your care home event for a quote: fill in our quote form.

Compton: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Compton?
Farnham station, about 1.3 miles west of the centre.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Can visitors eat too?
Many homes make it a family day; just tell us total numbers.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
